Chapter 38: Don't take Honghou seriously
Gongsun Du did not falsely convey the emperor's will, and only Liu Zhang could help the people of the counties.
I don't know how he got the medicine to cure the epidemic, and it worked very well.
"Give me some time, I need to prepare. Three days at the earliest, this is already the limit of my ability. ”
"Well, I hope that in three days, the Marquis will be able to send them the medicine."
Liu Zhang sighed aggrievedly, sometimes thankless.
Although there are a lot of medicines in the subspace watch, he doesn't want to give them away for nothing.
At the beginning, it was distributed free of charge to the people of the Red Marquis Kingdom, and they were his subjects.
As long as they live, they will be able to pay taxes to him.
In the end, they still couldn't get rid of being kidnapped by morality, and the goal of those rich merchants and nobles was achieved.
When the time came, he said to some of the people that they had done their best to get it.
In addition to being grateful to Liu Zhang, I also have to be grateful to those rich businessmen and aristocrats, which is very unpleasant to think about.
"I will give them medicine and make it public in the counties. It is said that this is the meaning of the imperial court, not the credit of those nobles and wealthy merchants. ”
Liu Zhang just let their little caution be shattered, if it wasn't for the imperial court.
Don't try to get the medicine from him, and don't blame him for not saving him.
Blame the rich merchants and aristocrats, they are so selfish.
Liu Zhang handed over a list to Gongsun Du, which was the list of those who refused to help Honghou Guo in the first place.
"This is the list of nobles and wealthy merchants who refused to help the Red Marquis in the first place, and they have been blacklisted by me."
The handwriting on the list is black and the words are large, and you can feel the hatred in the handwriting.
Gongsun Du glanced at the list, and the people on the list were very influential in the local area.
They are also quite wealthy in the local area, no wonder the Red Marquis is so angry.
They only need to provide some food for the people of the Red Marquis and send some doctors to help.
It won't be so noisy, and the blacklist means that you can't get the help of the Red Marquis.
"If they want to ask me for help in the future, I will refuse without hesitation, hoping that the court will not help them."
How much pressure he was under, and could they feel it?
If it weren't for the wealth accumulated by his ancestors, the Red Marquis would definitely collapse.
Helping the people of the surrounding counties to treat the epidemic requires a lot of medicine.
If you sell it, you will definitely make a lot of money.
Liu Zhang wants to make more money for himself and future generations.
In a few years, Liu Che won the title of prince and cut hundreds of princes at once.
It is also possible that the Red Marquis was among them, and he did not cross before.
This year, Honghou died of illness because he had no heirs to inherit.
The Red Marquis was abolished because of his crossing, and the Red Marquis was continued.
Everything he is doing now is for Liu Che to see.
Hoping to keep the Red Marquis Kingdom, he wants to raise a large family.
So he secretly hid a lot of wealth, if the Red Marquis Kingdom was cut off.
At least the whole family doesn't have to go hungry and cold, who can understand his feelings and pressure.
"Since the imperial court has come forward, I can't give them the medicine for nothing. Thirty dollars for a box of medicine, if you can't afford it, sign a contract first. When the illness is cured, help to pay off the debt. ”
Thirty is not too much for them, if they really can't afford it.
Sign a contract on credit first, and when you get better, you will come to Honghou to build roads and dig rivers.
It will be paid off in a few days, and they will be given something for nothing.
They will think that this is a matter of course, and they will reach out to him to ask for it in the future.
This head can't be opened, and Liu Zhang's pricing is also very reasonable.
A box of medicine can save at least half a life, and they should be able to weigh it up.
"You have a point, but if they really can't afford it. Then let them sign a contract with you to pay off the debt in other ways. ”
Gongsun Du also agreed with Liu Zhang's approach, but he felt that three days was too long.
"You said before that you would be ready in three days, see if you can work hard, and prepare enough medicine in one or two days."
"Gongsun Yushi, prepare sufficient medicine. It took time to prepare, so I had to do my best. ”
Liu Zhang also did not prohibit the people of Honghou Kingdom from selling the remaining medicine in their hands to others, which would allow them to make a little money.
"I hope that the government will strictly supervise the price of the medicines I sell at 30 yuan per box, and a box of 48 pills."
"I've heard that the value of the medicine being sold by someone is rising, why don't you ban it."
"The people of the Red Marquis Kingdom are also sick, and there is a little bit left in their hands. There is no need to ban it, please rest assured, I will mark the medicine provided. ”
Liu Zhang didn't think that someone would sell the medicine at a high price after getting it.
As long as they are marked, they will issue a notice so that the medicine in their hands cannot be sold at a high price.
Don't underestimate the greed of those people who want to get more profit.
The means are all used, and Liu Zhang is still different from them.
Although it is also to obtain benefits, stick to a certain bottom line.
Gongsun Du tasted the soup dumplings, the soup was delicious, and the pork filling in the soup dumplings was also very fragrant.
"This dim sum is so delicious, and the meat in it is pork."
"Yes. And it's about picking the best pork tenderloin with a little lard. ”
Liu Zhang taught the chef of Honghou Mansion how to make soup dumplings, and the food in Honghou Mansion improved greatly.
I took a bite of the fritters, which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they were particularly fragrant.
"What is this fried? It's delicious. ”
Li Dare thinks it's too delicious, if you bring some to eat on the way.
That's also a pleasure, but I don't know how long this kind of food can be kept?
"What Captain Li eats is fried dough sticks, which are made from flour and fried in oil."
There was a lot of wheat stored in the warehouse of Honghou Mansion, and Liu Zhang asked people to wash the wheat.
It is then dried in the sun, and then the wheat is stone-ground into flour.
Even though it was the most ordinary breakfast, it shocked them a little.
Flour did not appear until the time of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, although wheat had been cultivated for a thousand or two thousand years by this time.
Ordinary people wash the wheat and put it in the pot to boil.
"These snacks are made from flour, which is made from wheat milling."
When the crowd heard that the wheat was milled, they were shocked again.
"I didn't expect wheat to be ground into flour and be able to make such delicious food."
Gongsun Du's eyes suddenly lit up, if this method is promoted.
Isn't it wonderful that people are making flour into all kinds of delicacies?
After breakfast, Liu Zhang wiped their mouths and hands with napkins.
"One more thing to tell you, some time ago, Cui Wu and others, who were captured in the Red Marquis Kingdom, died in the prison of the county government."
When Liu Zhang heard the news, this was also expected by him.
"There are people who want to kill people, and I guess those people didn't confess who instructed them."
Transferred from the county government to the county government for interrogation, Cui Wu and others insisted on not confessing.
In this way, their families will not be punished, and the people who instructed them will send people to kill Cui Wu and the others.
"Cui Wu and others committed suicide by taking poison in prison, but unfortunately, the clue was broken."
"The status of the person who instructed them is not low, and Cui Wu and they have not confessed, so there is no way to take that person."
Liu Jian will definitely continue to search for beauties in various counties, and he thinks that as long as he does not do anything rebellious.
Collecting beauties is just a trivial matter, and the court will turn a blind eye.
He has a feud with Liu Jian, and he will definitely use various means to kill him during this time.
"The person who instructed them must know that you are doing his good thing, and they will definitely try to harm you."
Li Dang reminded Liu Zhang to be on guard, it was best to catch that person.
"I've been on guard, and I can only say that the man's status is higher than mine, and he thinks I can't help him."
At present, Liu Jian really can't help it, and he is a prince and a king.
is Liu Che's nephew again, and he is lawless in Jiangdu State.
It is impossible for Liu Che not to know what he has done in Jiangdu Kingdom, as long as it does not cause a huge impact.
will not investigate Liu Jian's culpability, which is clearly recorded in the history books.
Gongsun Du guessed that Liu Zhang knew who that person was, but there was no evidence.
It's inconvenient to say it clearly, so Gongsun Du doesn't ask, hoping that Liu Zhang is safe and sound.
Gongsun Du guessed that person was a prince king, and of course Liu Zhang couldn't help him.
"I hope he won't come to Honghou Country to hurt the people in the future, and I won't care about him in general."
Liu Jian will die in three years, and the other party will not provoke him.
The water of the wells of both sides does not interfere with the water of the river, if it annoys him.
will never let Liu Jian get better, don't take him as a little red marquis seriously.
Don't think that it is great if it is the princes and kings, Liu Zhang has thousands of ways to make Liu Jian's death unclear.
He's a traverser, and he has more than ordinary means.
"I am guarding myself in Honghe National Security, and there are always people who come to provoke me. If you provoke me again, don't blame me for being rude. ”
Presumably, the person sent by Liu Jian was nearby to pass back what he said.
Let Liu Jianhao do it himself, and don't take Honghou seriously.
